I remember when there wasn't a run/stop switch on the handlebar...But that was back when motorcycles had points and carburetors...I still turn the engine off with the key switch...With all of the computers on automobiles I wonder why they don't shut them down with a run/stop switch?

 

I use the ignition switch not the kill switch and here is why, the ignition switch is much more robust than the kill switch. I have seen kill switches wear out due to being used so often.

 

Hmm probably a pretty good reason. Which one is easier/cheaper to replace down the road, though?

 

always use ignition switch. It"s made for and the kill switch is made is case of emergency.

 

Or....hit N and reach down and pull off your plug wires.

 

I knew an old school biker years ago who would leave it in 1st gear and just pop the clutch to kill it. Ha, ha... BTW, on my 08 UC I use the ign to turn off the engine and would use the handlebar mounted "kill switch" for an emergency.

 

That will void your warranty.......

 

And possibly void your bowell

 

Maybe, but it would be a real kick in the azz.
